When to Call a Plumber for Service

As more homes in the area install garbage disposals, it is important to understand that parts can wear down after repeated use. For best practice, it is important never to put non-food or large items down the sink. Oils and grease can also impede the blades and prevent the device from working as intended.

Common problems with garbage disposals include:

• Humming and other unusual noises
• Clogs and jams
• Leaks into the below cupboard
• Inability to turn on

Properly diagnosing the problems with the garbage disposal can be completed with a call to Sage Plumbers. Our technicians have the tools necessary to implement a replacement.

Common Food Items You Should Not Put Down Your Garbage Disposal

Garbage disposals can be incredibly handy with the amount of stuff they are able to break down and dispose of. So handy in fact, many homeowners thing their garbage disposal is strong enough to handle anything we throw at it. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. There are actually certain food items that can heavily damage a garbage disposal. The common food items to avoid putting in a garbage disposal are:

• Coffee Grounds
• Nuts & Shells
• Chicken Bones (Really any bones)
• Pasta, Bread & Rice
• Egg Shells
• Onion Layers
• Pits & Seeds
• Grease, Oil & Fat
• Potato Peels
• Fibrous/Stringy Fruits & Vegetables

All these food items should not be put down a garbage disposal. They can cause broken blades or severe blockage in the disposal or the drain underneath. Another rule of thumb is to not put any non food material down the garbage disposal. If you have any questions about your garbage disposal, or notice it is not working properly, don't hesitate to reach out to the garbage disposal repair experts at Sage Plumbers!
